That being said, there are some bugs in the HarfBuzz version used in

We'll be typesetting some Bangla (Bengali script) text in June, which afaik is
before the TeXLive 2014 comes out.
1) Do you happen to know whether the 2013 version's bugs break Bangla?
I suppose that's an unanswerable question, since it probably depends on the
exact font we'll be using, and maybe the 2013 version hasn't been tested with
Bangla anyway. So:
2) I assume this:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz/
is where I should go for the latest HarfBuzz (at the moment, the 30 Jan 2014
release),
correct? And that I don't need to install any revised version of anything
else from
TeXLive 2013.
